    Yeah and having an accident with your car may also kill people. Should that count as murder? You know, since apparently intention is irrelevant.

            Ok sure, but a fair justice system should differentiate between intentionally killing someone and accidentally causing a death, right? Giving the same punishment to someone who kills their spouse because they cheated vs. someone who lost control of their car and crashed into a pedestrian would be extremely weird.
